' Thecombination clothes hanger consists of a coat and trouserw supporting section, 10,.a

shirt and the like clothes, supporting section l1, and a hat supporting section 12, all sections being in different vertical planes for supporting their clothes in different vertical planes and having a common top bar 13, and

ia support hook let mounted on the said top 86 Jar.

The said coat and trouser supporting section is made from thick sheet metal and consists of a horizontal trouser supporting portion connected with side forming portions 00 16 an d the'said top bar 13. The shirt and the like clothes supporting section 11 is made from thick wire and consists of a horizontal bottom portion 17 parallel to the horizontal trousers supporting portion 15 and spaced materially to the front thereof as may be seen from an inspection of Fig. 3, and connected with inclined side forming. portions 18 con nected with the said top bar 13. A rearward turned hook'19 is arranged upon the center 7 o-fthe horizontal bottom portion 17 and is adaptedto receive the shirt or the like clothes.

Said hat supporting section 12 consists of thesaid common top bar 18, the said inclined side forming portions 18 common to the 7 5 shirt supporting section 11, vertical side formingportions 20 depending from theends of the said inclined side forming portions 18 and forward upturned ends 21 providing a space 22 together with the vertical side form- 80 ing portions 20 for receiving the brim of. a hat. A curved wire 23 joins the lower ends of the vertical side forming portions 20.

As'shown in Fig. 1, a shirt 24 is shown supported upon the hook 19. Trousers 25 are shown engaged over the trouser supporting portion 15, and a vest 26 and-coat27 isshown engaged upon the side forming portions 16. The brim 28 of a hat 29 is shown engagediin the space provided by the vertical side forming portions 20 and the upturned ends-21. Particular notice is directed that all the various articles are supported, in different vertical planes, that is, thetrousers depend in one vertical plane, the vest and coat in another vertical plane and surround-the trousers, the shirt in a vertical. plane materially tothe front of the trousers and the hat in another verticalplane to the front of the shirt. 7

said inclined side 'forining'portions 18 common to the shirtand the like clothes supporting section 11, vertical side-form ng 190113101 18 depending from the said inclined side forming portions 18, a horizontal portronBO connecting the lower ends of theside forming portions 20 and a hat clamp 31 sup.---"ferred' embodiment ofmy invention, it is to ported upon the horizontal portion 30. This hatjclarnpmay be ofany conventional cone struction so as'to be adapted to engage the brim of a hat and thusjsupport' t.

The modified form illustrated 1n Flgs. 5, 6

and 7 is very similar to the preferred 'form' illustrated'in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, and similar-parts may be recognized by the same reference numerals, but distingulshesln the in' the' hat supporting section 12 The shirt supportingfs'ection consists of a horizontal bottom portion 17 provided with a rearward turned. hook 19 and connected, with I vertical zontal ring. of wiref33 attached upon the thevertical portions 32 and firmly held in the-horizontal position by sup- Eorting'struts 34. The crown of the hat may e placed thru the ring- 33 and the brim rest upon the ring and" thus accomplish support-' ing.; 3 An; additional bookl t is also provided forhanging another, hat, cap or the like .1 thereon.-=-

"In the-modified form inttrata in Figs. 8,-9-'and'10, amounting has been shown for supporting the hook which supports the clothes hanger; This mounting is applicable to all the-forms before described. It consists ofa transverse. horizontal member 35 connected' with the said top'bar 13 and formed with atop slot 56 extending from the front Vertical ends 37 serve to close theends-ofthe slot. The opposite sides of the slot are formed with inwardly extending flanges 38-formingchannels 39. The bases of these channels are formed with serra- V tions 40. I

f A'bottom hook section 41 is connected with a top hook section 42 by'a swivel joint 43. The lower end of the bottom hooksection is split'forming'a pair of fingers 43'. The re- W s'ili e'nc y' of the metal'is depended upon to urge tions 40. The .fing'ers may be manually.

these/fingers outwardly The tips 4 1 of these fingers are serrated and engage within the channels 39 and normally against the serrapressed together for disengagement from the serrations 4.0 and then the hook may be moved I V This' section consists of the said common top bar 13,;the'

' side forming portions in the said top bar.

Such adjustments permit balancing of the hanger according to the clothes engaged thereon. 'For example, it merely a hat is engaged onthe hanger, the hookmust be moved to a different position in order to balance the hanger in the vertical; Likewise if a coat, vest and shirt'are supported upon the hanger, the hook must be correspondingly 1moved.

While I have shown and described the prebe understood that I do-not limitmyself to the precise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the in- I vention as defined in the appended claims.
